Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 973 Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl!

More than an hour later, Banggeng, holding the examination report in his hand and grinning foolishly, followed Wen Xiaorong and her daughter Tang Yanling out of the obstetrician's office.

Wen Xiaorong was also very happy to confirm Tang Yanling's pregnancy. As they walked, she reminded Tang Yanling, "Lingling! Did you remember all the precautions the doctor mentioned? The first three months of pregnancy are very crucial, so you two need to be careful during this time!"

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's instructions, Tang Yanling immediately nodded and happily replied, "Mom! I remember! For the next while, I'll have Banggeng sleep in the guest room."

Hearing Tang Yanling's assurance, Wen Xiaorong finally felt relieved. She walked hand in hand with Tang Yanling to the front of the hospital building, and then instructed Bang Geng, who was still grinning foolishly, "Bang Geng! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and drive the car over to take Lingling and me back to our unit."

Bang Geng, who was grinning foolishly, only realized what was happening when Wen Xiaorong reminded him. He quickly replied, "Mom! You and Yanling wait for me here. I'll go get the car right away."

After dropping Tang Yanling and Wen Xiaorong off at the department store, Bang Geng asked Tang Yanling, "Yanling! Is there anything you particularly want to eat today? I can buy some on the way back."

Upon hearing Banggeng's question, Tang Yanling subconsciously shook her head and replied, "Banggeng! I don't have anything in particular that I want to eat, and we have everything at home, so there's no need to buy anything for me."

Upon hearing Tang Yanling's reply, Banggeng thought of the snacks at home and replied with a smile, "Okay! Then I'll head back to the bureau first. You'll be working at the office, so you'll have to be a little worried."

Upon hearing Banggeng's words, Tang Yanling immediately said to him, "Banggeng! Your uncle has so many things to do every day, he might need to go out and use the car, you should hurry back!"

After saying goodbye to Wen Xiaorong and Tang Yanling, Bang Geng hummed a little tune and drove away from the department store.

"Uncle! Yanling is pregnant! Yanling is really pregnant! I'm going to be a dad!" Twenty minutes later, Banggeng ran to Jia Dongming's office. Before he even entered the office, his voice came from outside.

Upon hearing Banggeng's words and learning of Tang Yanling's pregnancy, Jia Dongming casually put down the file he was holding. Looking at the happy Banggeng, he affectionately scolded him, "Banggeng! You're about to become a father, how can you still act so rashly?"

When Banggeng heard Jia Dongming's scolding, he realized that this was his workplace, not their courtyard house. He put the Jeep keys on Jia Dongming's desk and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle! I'm about to become a father, and I was so eager to tell you the good news that I forgot this was my workplace."

Upon hearing Banggeng's explanation, Jia Dongming, thinking of Qin Huairu who was still waiting for news, immediately instructed Banggeng: "Banggeng! I reckon your mother is probably waiting for your good news in the office right now. You should call her as soon as possible and tell her the news."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reminder, Bang Geng remembered what Qin Huairu had instructed him to do before he left that morning. He quickly nodded and reached for the phone on Jia Dongming's desk, preparing to call Qin Huairu to share the good news. "Ring! Ring! Ring!"

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Qin Huairu, who was waiting for news in her office, heard the phone on her desk ring. She reached for the receiver and politely asked, "Hello! This is the Women's Federation office. May I ask where this is?"

"Mom! This is Banggeng. This morning, I went to the hospital with Yanling's mom to help Yanling with her checkup. The doctor confirmed that Yanling is pregnant. I'm going to be a dad, and you're going to be a grandma!" Banggeng, standing opposite Jia Dongming, said happily to Qin Huairu, holding a microphone in his hand.

Having been through it herself, Qin Huairu had already concluded that Tang Yanling was pregnant when she saw Tang Yanling's reaction that morning. Now that it was confirmed that Tang Yanling was indeed pregnant, Qin Huairu was overjoyed and happily replied, "Great! That's wonderful! I'm going to be a grandmother!"

Qin Huairu paused slightly after saying this, then happily instructed Bang Geng, "Bang Geng! Yanling is now the most important person to protect in our family. In order for Yanling to give birth to the child smoothly, starting today, you must not touch Yanling anymore. Also, when Yanling goes to work at the department store, you are responsible for picking her up and dropping her off until Yanling gives birth to the child smoothly."

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's instructions, Banggeng immediately recalled the precautions that the obstetrician had given them during Tang Yanling's prenatal checkup. He nodded and assured her, "Mom! Don't worry, the doctors at the hospital already gave us all the instructions during Yanling's checkup. As for Yanling's commute, I promise I will pick her up and drop her off on time as long as I'm not driving."

Qin Huairu was relieved to hear Banggeng's assurance. Thinking that she was about to become a grandmother, and also having a preference for boys, she thought of the saying "sour for a boy, spicy for a girl"! So she asked Banggeng, "Banggeng! Is there anything Yanling particularly wants to eat? If so, tell Mom and I will go buy it for her."

When Banggeng heard Qin Huairu's question, he assumed that Qin Huairu wanted Tang Yanling to eat something better because of Tang Yanling's pregnancy, so he smiled and replied, "Mom! I asked Yanling about the question you just asked. She said that she feels nauseous when she smells cooking oil, so she doesn't really want to eat anything."

Qin Huairu was visibly taken aback by Banggeng's answer and quickly asked, "Banggeng! Didn't Yanling say she particularly wanted to eat something sour?"

When Banggeng heard Qin Huairu's question, he looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Mom! Yanling didn't say what she particularly wanted to eat. How could you think she wanted something sour?"

Upon hearing Banggeng's question, Qin Huairu's face showed a frustrated expression. She complained to Banggeng, "Banggeng! Haven't you heard the saying 'sour for a boy, spicy for a girl'? If Yanling likes sour food, it means she's carrying a boy; if she likes spicy food, it means she's carrying a girl."

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's explanation, Banggeng finally understood the reason and complained to Qin Huairu with a smile, "Mom! Why are you just like my grandma, favoring boys over girls? To me, boys and girls are the same. I don't care whether Yanling is carrying a boy or a girl."

Upon hearing Banggeng's answer, Qin Huairu immediately felt a surge of anger and scolded him, "Banggeng! Can boys and girls be the same? You brat, you're driving me crazy!"
